Not ready by any stretch, but already enjoyable. Tight, but fantastic structure and fine tannins.

Modern, rich and dark. Granular tannic structure and some wet earth. Needs time.

Serious and well made, easy drinking despite the complexity, length and concentration. Ripe cherries and notes of coffee, cocoa and tobacco

Great, as always! 2009 was a great year and while young, terrific!

Alion is pure seduction, talk about minerality. Another blockbuster from the Vega family. Distinct note of lapsong souchong and black perigord truffle!

Not in the best place right now, I have had quite a few 8-12 years of age and they start to get really into around that age. For a youngster this just seemed off its mark.
